Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

This eight-week personal development course teaches you practices and techniques to enhance your well-being and help you to find ways to get more out of your life. It will help you find new approaches to old patterns of thinking and reacting, through engagement in group discussion, sitting and movement practices and self-enquiry. If you are not sure if the MBSR course is right for you why not try a taster first? The cost of the taster is refunded if you book on the MBSR course.

What’s involved?

This course is two and a quarter hours a week for eight weeks plus a silent day retreat (10am to 4pm on a Saturday or Sunday). The group size will be between eight and 15 people. The main elements of the course are:

Guided instruction in mindfulness meditation practices.

Group interaction – in the whole group, pairs and small groups.
